Selangor says taking MCA to court over Talam claims

SHAH ALAM, July 4 — Selangor will sue MCA and all parties that have
accused the state government of misusing RM1 billion in public funds,
Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said today.

“Selangor will take legal action against MCA. The state executive
council has decided to sue MCA and those who have made accusations
against the state government with regards to the RM1 billion
misappropriation.

“The decision to take legal action is because it is not only untrue
and serious, but it has tarnished the good name of the Selangor
government, Mentri Besar Khalid told reporters.

He declined to comment further, saying he has been advised by his
solicitors to refrain from doing so until the matter has been addressed
in court.

The Selangor state assembly approved a supplementary budget of RM391
million for Mentri Besar Incorporated (MBI) in November 2010 to buy over
Talam Corp’s debt incurred after several failed real estate ventures
with state agencies.

The property developer’s annual report in 2010 stated that Selangor
also purchased assets worth RM284 million from the company in addition
to recovering its RM392 million debt, or a total of RM676 million.

Chua claimed that Talam’s debts with the state companies were still
outstanding, and produced KHSB’s 2012 annual report as evidence.

“Based on KHSB’s annual report, it shows RM115 million is still
outstanding from the Selangor government. This shows that no payment was
received by KHSB, the state company,” Chua said yesterday.

“Unisel has also not received any money. There is no need for Unisel
to sell assets to raise RM30 million for its usage if they did receive
money from Talam Corp,” he added, referring to Selangor’s announcement
last month that it would liquidate assets to help Unisel students whose
student loans had been frozen.

In Buddhism, the laity are expected to support the poor. That is to say, they are expected to support the monks, who have taken a vow of poverty. Theravada Buddhism still practices the traditional form of this activity. During the morning, monks take their begging bowls and go out into the community to seek food. Lay people are expected to put what food they can spare into the monks' bowls.

This simple activity has expanded into the general idea that the laity supports the Sangha in whatever it needs. This includes everything from the things monks need for their everyday lives--such as robes, begging bowls, and so on--all the way up to wealthy people paying to build monasteries, temples. All lay support earns the giver merit.

The Buddha did not intend to form either a religious or political position, or a philosophy of society. Historically, he lived before the era of organized, systematic theorizing about the human collective. He addressed himself as an individual to individuals. Even when he spoke to large groups, as he frequently did, he focused on individual responsibility. He understood every group - for example, the democratic states that existed in the India of his times – as resting upon the insight, conscience, and actions of each of its participants. He had no theory of, nor belief in, supervening collective structures of society or government that could amend or replace the bedrock of individual choice.

When I researched internet and I found some articles in Internet about MCA ANTI BUDDHIST at SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION, TAMAN DESA JAYA, KUALA LUMPUR. That happened with sadness and shameful to the others races and religions, in my religion (Buddhist) not allow any politic party to running inside Temple.

Hope Mr. Yip Kum Fook will understands what is Buddha teaching and Buddha culture? This also make Buddhist lost of people believed, Buddhist not only in Malaysia, Buddhist is for all human worlds.
